Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 531: The Tyrant Boss's Wind Blows

March 3th soon arrived and "Moon Rising over Spring Stream" began airing.

After dinner, Liu Wangxue made a pot of scented tea, Xu Qingsong cut some fruits, Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan prepared some snacks and brought them to the coffee table in the living room. They wiped the paws of the three little ones, let them sit on the sofa, and the family sat together, turned on the projector and waited to watch.

Liu Wangxue's phone has been ringing non-stop since the afternoon. Messages from the crew group and the fraud group have been filling the screen for a long time. Many relatives and friends have also sent private messages to congratulate her on the launch of the show.

After a while, the advertisement ended and the opening music started. Xu Qingsong stopped teasing the dog, Liu Wangxue stopped teasing the cat, Gu Xuelan, Liu Nanshan and Gua Gua all stopped talking, and everyone focused their attention on the scene in front of them.

The opening scenes are edited to look like a documentary, and are mostly scenes related to Hanfu, including design, production, pattern making, trial wear and display, etc.

Gu Xuelan looked at it and asked Liu Wangxue, "When you were filming, did the actors do all these themselves or did you hire professional designers and tailors to do them for you?"

Xiao Ci turned over and lay on his back on Liu Wangxue's legs and asked her to scratch his belly. Liu Wangxue then used both hands to give him a full body massage. The lazy cat purred comfortably.

Liu Wangxue replied: "The design drafts were definitely drawn by the designers in Xixi Studio, but for scenes like making clothes, some simple steps were done by the actors themselves, and the more difficult ones were done by the designers themselves."

The heroine Ni Jia and several other supporting actors have all learned how to sew. The crew had ready-made sewing machine props, and everyone would use them whenever they had free time. For example, the actor who played Ni Jia's opponent had become very skilled by the time the filming was finished, and he even bought cloth to make himself a skirt.

Gu Xuelan looked at them and commented: "This one looks good, and this one looks good too."

Liu Nanshan took the cup of tea and drank it slowly, saying leisurely: "I like it. I will buy them all for you someday."

Without waiting for Gu Xuelan to react, Liu Wangxue burst into laughter and used a little more force when massaging Xiaoci, causing the cat to meow in dissatisfaction.

Liu Wangxue said to Xu Qingsong: "Hurry up, help me see if my dad has transformed."

Xu Qingsong was also laughing, but not as exaggeratedly as Liu Wangxue. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Nanshan: "Well, he has changed. He is full of the temperament of a 'domineering boss'."

Liu Wangxue burst into laughter again.

Gu Xuelan also smiled and patted Liu Nanshan: "Why are you pretending!"

Liu Nanshan put the cup back on the coffee table and was very happy: "If you don't watch videos, you won't know that the trend of overbearing CEOs has already spread to the elderly market. Today I watched a very popular one called "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me, a Lunch Box Seller at a Construction Site."

When Liu Wangxue heard the name, she burst into laughter again, leaning on Xu Qingsong's shoulder, laughing so hard that her whole body kept shaking, and she stopped petting the cat. Xiaoci was very dissatisfied, but this was her owner, so what could she do but spoil her, so she turned over and nestled in her lap, wagging her tail.

Xu Qingsong was laughing so hard that his chest was shaking. He raised his hand and pinched Liu Wangxue's face.

Gu Xuelan patted Liu Nanshan again and said, "You should stop watching those indecent things."

"Why are you not serious?" Liu Nanshan asked, picking up a piece of fruit. "Old people also have fantasies, right? The domineering CEO style should be popular like this to meet the needs of people of all ages."

Liu Wangxue continued, "Okay, Dad. I'll tell Xixi to pack the clothes and send them over. You transfer the money to her. Hahaha..."

"How can this be? This is totally out of character for a domineering CEO." Xu Qingsong opened a bag of nuts and fed one to Liu Wangxue. He said, "We should ask Wenxi to send a designer to come and provide door-to-door service and tailor the clothes."

"Yeah, right, right," Liu Nanshan agreed very much and immediately put on a pretentious tone, "Then I should say what I just said again - I like it, then I'll let..."

Gu Xuelan couldn't stop laughing and patted him again: "That's enough, let's watch the show, it's starting."

As they were talking, the opening credits had finished playing and the series officially began.

The first scene is an interview after the heroine's self-created brand has become a great success. The first thing she talked about was the inheritance and development of traditional culture. Then, as the host asked questions, the heroine recalled how she fell in love with Hanfu at first sight. Then the scene changed to an empty shot of Taojia Village, with a clear sky, lotus leaves in the fields, and the fragrance of rice. The story begins from the moment the heroine learned her college entrance examination results...

Seeing this, Gu Xuelan sighed in confusion and asked Liu Wangxue, "I remember the crew came to film in late September or early October, right? The lotus leaves were all yellow at that time, and the late rice was not yet harvested. How come the lotus leaves are so green and lush in this shot, and the rice is about to be harvested?"

When she asked this, Liu Nanshan also felt strange: "Could it be that he came here to shoot a few months in advance?" That's impossible. If it was a few months in advance, he would still be here and hadn't returned to his hometown. How could he not know?

"These are all post-production special effects." Liu Wangxue said, "The college entrance examination results will be checked at the end of June, so the environment must be suitable for the season and time."

Xu Qingsong then explained to the two elders how these special effects were made.

"Oh, no wonder." Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan nodded together, "This is really well done. It doesn't look fake at all."

Soon, the clock struck 9:30, and the first two episodes were over. Liu Wangxue didn't change the channel because the ending song was pretty nice, also sung by Lou Rui, and in the afternoon Jing Yujun told her there would be a surprise at the end, so the family continued to sit and listen and chat.

When the last scene ended, I thought it was an advertisement, but it was seamlessly connected to an interview. The interview also had a short title, titled "A Brief Talk on the History of Chinese Costumes", and the interviewee was also a professor who studied Chinese costume culture. The entire interview lasted nearly 20 minutes, from primitive society to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Then there was a preview of the next episode and the next interview.

"So this is the surprise!" Liu Wangxue said.

"You don't know?" Xu Qingsong asked.

Liu Wangxue shook her head: "After the post-production was completed, Sister Yunxiang asked me if I wanted to go over to see the finished film, but I didn't have time, so I didn't go."

"This interview is good," said Gu Xuelan, who is a teacher. She is a history teacher and took such courses in college. "It is not only beneficial to children who are studying, but also adults who watch the show can learn relevant knowledge. It is both entertaining and educational."

Liu Nanshan and Xu Qingsong also continued the conversation for a few words.

Liu Wangxue lowered her head and sent a message to Jing Yujun: [The surprise you mentioned is the interview? ]

Jing Yujun was also watching the premiere and replied immediately: [Yes, are you surprised? This idea came to me.] Liu Wangxue wanted to say, what can I be surprised about? The ones who should be surprised are the audience watching the show and those Hanfu lovers, but she still expressed her praise for Jing Yujun.

Jing Yujun talked incessantly, saying that he had invited fifteen professors in total to participate in the interview. In addition to holding a small class to popularize clothing culture, he would also explain and comment on the Hanfu that appeared in the play.

Liu Wangxue: [This is great, now I can shut up Heizi.]

The trailer they released during the drama promotion showed a restored version of the quju shenyi, which became popular during the Qin Dynasty and changed slightly during the Western Han Dynasty. The most notable feature is that the hem is often trumpet-shaped, long enough to reach the ground, and the whole body is tight, which can well highlight the beauty of a woman's body curve. However, due to the tightness of the whole body, it is inconvenient to walk when wearing it, and the models in the video are walking in small steps when showing it.

I don't know if some haters are really ignorant or just trying to find fault, so they used this as an excuse to shout and curse under the video, saying that this drama is under the banner of promoting traditional culture, but in fact it is a substitution, with the whole screen full of Japanese style, and they changed the kimono into Hanfu, which really brought shame to the Chinese nation.

Such stupid remarks are surprisingly echoed by many people.

The staff of the drama's publicity department was also very tough and directly pinned this comment to the top. Not long after, the person who made this comment was attacked by "popular science" and deleted his comment.

Apart from these, there are other pessimistic remarks which are really annoying to read.

Jing Yujun: [Let them bark as much as they want, evil cannot prevail over good anyway]

When Liu Wangxue finished chatting with Jing Yujun, Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan got up together. They were going to wash up and prepare for bed. Before leaving, they reminded Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue not to stay up too late and to go to bed early.

Liu Wangxue agreed, but she had no intention of getting up. After they left, she leaned against Xu Qingsong's arms and said, "Let me use your phone."

Xu Qingsong took out his cell phone and handed it to her, then adjusted his posture and hugged her comfortably.

After Liu Wangxue unlocked the computer, he directly clicked on WB: "Let's see what the online reaction is."

Xu Qingsong was extremely confident: "It must be all praise."

Liu Wangxue took a second to react, then looked up at him and smiled: "I misheard, I thought you said a piece of 'quack quack'."

Xu Qingsong bent down and kissed her, saying, "You can put it that way. There's a line in a poem that goes 'The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest, and the sound of frogs is heard'. The louder the croaking, the more it means that this drama will have a good harvest."

Liu Wangxue opened the WB but hadn't read it yet. She hooked her arm around Xu Qingsong's neck and said, "Oh, Mr. Xu, you are so good at talking~"

Xu Qingsong moved closer to her and said, "Since I'm so good at talking, can you give me a reward?"

Liu Wangxue looked at him with a smile and was about to kiss him when Gua Gua suddenly flew over and landed on her shoulder: "Quack, quack, quack!"

The atmosphere that had just emerged disappeared in an instant, and the two laughed out loud. Xu Qingsong picked up Guagua and placed it on the top of the sofa backrest, pointing at it: "You are the only one who ruins the mood!"

Guagua tilted his head, very innocently: "Quack, quack, quack!"

Liu Wangxue smiled and snuggled into Xu Qingsong's arms again and started watching WB.

The early promotion of this drama followed the normal process, without any overwhelming marketing, because it had already attracted a wave of popularity during the New Year's Day, and there was also the guarantee of Jing Yujun's reputation and Lou Rui's own traffic.

In the past two days, interviews with the main creative team and recorded variety shows were broadcast successively, and the response was quite good, which is mainly due to Lou Rui's fans.

Although the male protagonist Lou Rui will only appear in the later stage of the drama, he has a huge number of fans. They all become fans, so they will definitely support their brother/baby/husband/son's first film and television work.

It's just that the public is quite disgusted with traffic now, especially those traffic that are the worst because they are good at nothing but act like big stars. Lou Rui is afraid that his fans are too active and will cause disgust among passers-by, thus affecting the ratings of the show, so he asked his agent to talk to several big fans and tell everyone to calm down.

People usually watch dramas just for entertainment, but they cannot accept those eye-catching acting skills that are "only visible to fans". They have suffered from this for a long time, so they do have some resistance to the recommendation of Lou Rui's fans. However, with Jing Yujun as the main support, they decided to wait and see. Anyway, he only appeared at the end, and if they really couldn't accept it, they would just give up the drama.

Xu Qingsong was right. There was a lot of praise online, but most of those who were praising him were still fans of Lou Rui, and a small number were those netizens who had just become fans of Ni Jia.

It’s pretty much what Liu Wangxue expected. The show has just started, and there are only two episodes. The characters and plot haven’t been developed yet. We have to wait another two days to see real audience feedback.

However, what was unexpected was that the interview of less than 20 minutes - "A Brief Talk on the History of Chinese Clothing" attracted a certain amount of discussion.

The first interviewee today is a professor from the History Department of Ocean University. The professor also has an account registered on the video platform. He usually posts some relevant popular science content, talking about the culture carried by clothing and the relationship between clothing, people and society. He has received quite a lot of attention.

Many students and professors’ students participated in the discussion.

[Yo, could this title be more thoughtful? "A Brief Discussion on XXX" sounds exactly like the name I gave to my crappy paper, hahahaha]

[Please be more rigorous, this episode should add a dash under the title "——The evolution from primitive society to Shang and Zhou Dynasty"]

[Professor, am I still your close student? I want to write about this period in my thesis but I can’t find a starting point. I asked you for advice but you didn’t tell me. Then you kept talking about it in the interview. I will cry in front of you next time we meet.]

[Professor, can I read the paper online? I need guidance (*^▽^*)]

……

In addition, Taojia Village's video account has received a new wave of attention. The scenery shown in the drama is even better than that in the promotional video. Whether it is day or night, morning light or sunset glow, the beauty of rural ecology is everywhere. Many people naturally recited the poem that Xu Qingsong just said. The drama also shows the first two sentences "The bright moon on the branch startled the magpie, and the breeze in the middle of the night made the cicada sing." Although they are basically post-production, they do bring a sense of yearning to people who are busy with life in the city.

"That's good," Liu Wangxue exited WB and returned the phone to Xu Qingsong. "The publicity is in place. Once we shoot the rapeseed field video and post it, it should attract some more attention."

"Well, take your time." Xu Qingsong hugged her and put his face against hers.
